>> I just got approval to attend IETF, and I am getting 2 airports for>> Stockholm.>>>> Which is the one to use?>> As others have mentioned, there are several. Ryan Air uses Skavsta (NYO> / ESKN) and Västerås (VST / ESOW). Those are fairly remote; count on> several hours of bus transit.>> Absolutely closest is Stockholm Bromma (BMA / ESSB) but it is only> serviced by a few international carriers, and only from one source> (Brussels). It is mainly domestic / GA.>> The one most used is as others have mentioned Stockholm Arlanda (ARN /> ESSA) which is used by all major carriers and serves the most> destinations. It is located some 40 km north of Stockholm, and transfer to> and from it is plentiful. Cary promised some text, but I'll write anyway.>> 1. Taxi.> Expect to pay no more than SEK 500. Reputable taxi companies have> fixed prices around that. I prefer Taxi Stockholm, Taxi Kurir, and Taxi> 020.>> 2. High-speed direct train Arlanda Express.> Its Stockholm terminus is a mere 3 minutes walk from the conference hotel.> Return tickets at around SEK 460:-> https://www.arlandaexpress.com:443/default.aspx?page=3&;>> 3. Airport coach service Flygbussarna.> A five minute walk from the hotel when in Stockholm.> Return ticket SEK 199:-. Tickets on the buses only payable by credit card.> http://www.flygbussarna.se/Default.aspx?lang=EN>> 4. Public transport. From Arlanda to town:>> You CAN'T buy a ticket on the bus!>> a. Get a ticket. Locate Arlanda Visitor Center in Terminal 5 and tell them> you want a SL ticket to Stockholm, via bus 583 etc. I think they sell a> strip of 16 tokens for SEK 180:- which is good for 4 single trips to or> from the airport. They sell the 7 days card too, which is a very wise> choice if you expect to use the public transport at all during the week.> Price for the card is SEK 260:-> Also ask where the 583 stops. As a courtesy to the more expensive forms of> transfer, the 583 is hidden so as to not appeal to much ;-)> b. Locate the> bus stop for bus no 583, destination "Märsta Station". 583x might work> too, but make sure that the destination is Märsta.> c. Get on, and get off> after some 20 minutes at the Märsta Station end stop. (You can't go too> far unless you are on the wrong direction.)> d. At the station, get on the> commuter train for Stockholm (direction Södertälje). The trains and buses> match in time, so you have something like 5-8 minutes to get off the bus> and on the train. Plenty, it is just a 100 metre walk. e. Get off at> Stockholm Central, just after station Karlberg. The> hotel is just 7 minutes away by foot. Get out of the platform in the> north end, at the rear of the train. Much easier.>> On tickets: They are stamped by the driver in the beginning of each> trip (on buses) or by platform access people in booths before getting on> the platform. Make sure to keep the ticket. Controls happen. Also, the> ticket is vaild one hour from stamping time, and will be amendable by new> stamping when changing to a new means of transport within the hour. The> one-week card is easier, magnetic stripe or RFID. That's a good and extensive guide, Måns.
